Back in June, I stumbled across a blogging contest that was being hosted by Ebay. They gave out a specific topic to write a blog post about and were having some super successful bloggers judge the submissions and choose the winner who would then receive a pretty amazing prize for their efforts. On a whim I threw together a vintage inspired summer style submission and MUCH to my surprise, I won! The submission was judged by the AMAZING Justina Blakeney (seriously, love everything she does. If you've somehow never heard of her, go check her out. You will not be sorry.) who is basically the queen of all things Bohemian Glam. Every house she styles or features is absolutely #goals so it was a major honor to even be momentarily on her radar.

So while it is obviously a bit belated, I actually caught myself thinking this past weekend, "Good lord, it's oppressively hot. I wish I had a big, flowy kaftan in my closet right now. The thought of putting real clothes on makes me want to retreat to a dark cave and not come out until December."...or something along those lines. A pretty common thought for most people, most of the year, here in Florida. That exact thought was what kind of inspired my post to begin with so here ya go!
